Charles Anastase Womenswear A/W10

A 70s inspired eccentric came through at Anastase' show.

It was almost as if Charles Anastase was purposefully creating looks that don't run in cohesion with each other which works in this instance because his imaginary muse/character is an eccentric and what he describes as a "crazy gardener". Jumping from a calf-length clingy turquoise dress and red jacket with frou frou ruffled collar to a kabuki-mask painted face and grey shawl coat was perfectly ok. Colours of deep cranberry, ochre, peach and sky blue were deliberately kept solid to let the longer, slightly granny-ish shapes do the talking. The girly whimsiness of Anastase's previous collections could also be seen in a white ruffled knee length shift with a matching cap.
